Of course the Mugen will break, but if a hit is hard enough to break a Mugen that same hit is going to break any RC, however many hits that would break other RC's won't break a Mugen... so far from all the Truggies and MT's I have owned the Mugen has been the most durable reliable RC I have owned...

My PBS does not suffer from any slop whatsoever, Mugen plastic is some of the best plastic your going to find on any RC, definitely a step above HPI plastic..... I had a Hellfire and several Savages and HPI does not build a product as well as Mugen does, I do not mean this as a personal insult to any HPI fans either...But the fact is Mugen builds an awesome well thought out product, they use high grade materials and are as bullet proof as any RC can be..... HPI does a decent job, but they don't have the same level of quality , so if both machines can be bought for the same money the Mugen is a much better option....

In the end if you beleive Hellfire is a better bet then a Mugen that is fine, I am not looking to start a fight or anything like that... You can take my advice or leave it, i truly don't care either way...its definitely not worth it to me to fight over it thats for sure... I have owned both machines and truly feel the quality and durability advantage the Mugen has is quite profound and with Mugen's selling used for $200.00 it makes a tough case for anyone to buy a Hellfire when for the same coin you can get the Mugen... The Mugen is one of the most successful popular Truggy platform ever, and the Hellfire is probably one of the most disliked and least popular.... If the HF was truly that good why was it such a flop and if the Mugen was that bad then why was it so successful...
